Follwoing is the differences between concurrentHashMap and Hashmap in java. You can visit to know more about manupulation of any entry (key/value pair) of HashMap in Java, like How to remove Entry from HashMap in Java
| Consideration | HashMap | ConcurrentHashMap | Description |
| Synchronization | No | Yes | HashMap can be synchronized by using Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap()) ~ this way method we get a HashMap object which is equivalent to the HashTable object \, so every modification operation is performed on Map is locked on Map object. |
| Threadsafe | No | Yes | HashMap is not thread-safe while ConcurrentHashMap is thread-safe. |
| Null Key | 1 null key | not allowed null key | HashMap allowed one null key and multiple null values while ConcurrentHashMap not allow null key. |
| Performance | fast | Slower | Any number of thread can access HashMap object without locking \, while in ConcurrentHashMap lock portion of bucket. |

Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured
I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
My website covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and
I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send
me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the
way!
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual effort to
make a very good article? but what can I say? I put things
off a lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
Awesome article.
